An unrealistically low price, may indicate lack of sound management judgment and lack of understanding of the requirement for the geographic area of service, or unbalanced pricing of line items, as proposed initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has made an imprudent offer. 5. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. PART I TECHINICAL: Technical capability to include product literature, catalog price lists if available; warranty, guarantee, technical specs, and delivery information.

Definitions are as follows: ACCEPTABLE: To be rated acceptable, the offeror's technical proposal must demonstrate it can meet all requirements. UNACCEPTABLE: A technical proposal that fails to demonstrate it can meet one or more requirements will be determined unacceptable. PART II PAST PERFORMANCE Offeror is required to submit information, on a single page, identifying federal, state and local Government and private contracts performed within the past three years, which are similar in scope and complexity to the effort described in this solicitation. If none, offeror should so state and provide information on references.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance.
